This is the first valid question that I have seen that everyone should be making a guide to help with. I was lucky enough to be in a guild by the time I was 30 so I have a group of guys I came up with that could help me.

If you don't have that then the first thing I would do is start farming Black Talon/ Esseles and running with PUGs. I'm sure after a few runs you will be able to find 3 good people who could make a regular team, hell you could even start a 4 man guild and look for more people to join when one of you isn't online. There are alot of unguilded names on fleet sometimes, looks like an opportunity to start something- maybe not something epic but something that could grow. If you can put together 2 4 man groups then you have your Op.

Now your probably saying that its hard to get people for a HM, I'll tell you what people don't want to see in general chat.
1) Spam. People hate spammers, if your asking more than once every minute then your going to be labeled a spammer and people won't wanna help you.
2) Attitude. If your acting all needy or like your the best in the world that will work against you, check your ego and your security blanket at the login screen.
3) Inflexibility. You start asking for a False Emperor run and someone asks you if you wanna do Kaon, why on Earth would you say no just because you got the gear already. A run is a run and there is no such thing as wasting time in a video game.

Late at night when the guild runs have been done for the day I'll hop into a PUG and run something, there are alot of good nice people out there, its become our new recruiting tool for the guild to "slum it" in the easy flashpoints.

I wasn't even refering to the OP. I know what his issue, on all the time and can't find a group. It was in response to the post I quoted, that's why people usually quote things but hey, what do I know. I'm the dumb smart-aleck

Hm, with BM mods and enhancements and the armoring from dailies... doesn't that amount to the 1st tier PvE gear?
(I honestly don't know now, but they had similar stats before the armoring slot was unlocked, so I just pulled them out of the pvp gear and put them into my pretty orange gear. Who wants the silly PvE shells, anyway?)

There are already threads on server population issues which is what this thread is really about. Post in those threads.

Mods please close this.

There are probably like 2 or 3 Armormech's that probably even have the Columni schematics on my server. Chance in hell that any would be on GTN. That would require them to leave fleet to go find materials.

I would have to make an ALT and take up Armormeching, and buy the schematics msyelf.

This game is pathetic economy wise. The GTN is barren.

Like I said I usually play 6-10 hours a day.


We will get character transfers soon, and some kind of LFG tool, which I bet will be as restrictive as possible in order to make groups only slightly easier to find. What good is a LFG tool if there are still only 500 people per server? The population will be reshuffled around with character transfers and we will be back to square one.

Bioware needs to rework Flashpoints, and Raiding content, because its not being utilized. The gear only being dropped instead of crafted is hurting the economy. PvE gear has been an impossible goal for me, despite the time spent. Not even crafted Implants or Weapons are better then dropped gear.

The fact that there are people in this community that would defend Bioware on these points is /facepalm. its not about Population as it is about design choices.

You can get the implants and earpieces from doing dailies. The OP said ran the stuff for the dailies. You most certainly cannot buy head, chest, belt, legs and boots (which I am pretty certain this is what the op is talking about, maybe I'm wrong). Some of the stuff can be crafted but it is bop.

Running dailies is not supposed to be "fun", its supposed to be work. Why? Because if every person who hit level 50 was given a complete set of end game gear then what would be the point. Rare items are not supposed to be handed out to the masses like candy, BW is already taking rare items and handing them out to people who did not earn them, eg: SE Crystal. This leads to a dumbed down game where everyone looks the same and no one sticks around very long when they log in because there is no point to play.

Columi is good enough to run hard mode EV or KP, Columi drops from the 4 man Flashpoints, 2 weeks of dailies and your set on at least the implants and earpiece, and if your really dedicated armormech can make 2 rakata piece.

If you don't have the patience to handle that then you are not a long term player anyways and you are probably preparing for Diablo. I for one am damn proud of my toons. Level 50 sniper in full rakata,level 50 assassin in full columi, level 42 sage for crafting weapons, and any time I had to spend more than 5 minutes looking for a party I started an alt and got it over level 30 all to help my main in one way or another. Our server is not heavy during the day but it isn't dead either, we have several end game raiding guilds- last night there were 32 total people in Denova. My point is that if you really want it you can go out there and earn it, but the crying about dailies is getting old and if that is all that BW sees all the time, because only the QQ'ers are posting, then this game is going to be dumbed down to the point that no long term player will stay.

Cowboy the F up and git 'er dun.
I stopped reading after "not supposed to be "fun", its supposed to be work". If you think playing a games work, get a job.

I play maybe 2 to 3 hours a night during the week and a bit more on the weekends...and honestly I'v ealmost got a full set and we've only been doing HMs for like 3 weeks. Granted I have 2 other friends I play most of the time with and a fairly nice guild with a minimum of 12 people on at all times so finding a fourth person is never hard...but hell since 1.2 its easy to get a pug group for an HM...are you playing during the low hours of your server?

PvE sets are beyond easy to use.. This thread is about server population, close this thread and speak in one of the threads that are already made about this.
